Welcome to Wool, Warp and Wheel. Our Fiber Arts Studio is currently a "brick and mortar" shop. We believe that fiber arts should be passed "hand-to-hand" and that requires personal contact. Our shop has become a meeting place of our fiber community. As a resource to that community, we offer many beautiful yarns; spinning supplies and fiber; weaving supplies and materials; notions; knitting needles and crochet hooks, kits; books; patterns and MUCH more! Visit our Products pages to see all that we offer!

A lot has happened since we first opened the doors. As we have been faithful to take care of those who God has brought into the shop, he has blessed us. We have been able to expand our inventory far beyond what we envisioned, focusing on premium products and equipment. Nine years ago we didn't know how we would ever fill the space. Today, we're working harder than ever to put even more in the shop without it becoming too crowded.

In an effort to improve our shop, we've become part of The National Needle Art Association (TNNA). The association has put us in direct contact with manufacturers and importers of products, provided us educational opportunities to help us improve our business skills, and given us the opportunity to share with other shop owners our customer focused approach to the fiber arts. It has provided us the opportunity to make an impact on the industry.

Most amazing is the core group of customers who have become a part of our adventure. It is truly rewarding to see them become friends "outside" of the shop. It has also been a joy to watch them become proficient fiber artists. Many have exceeded their expectations, and are now able to create things they never thought possible.

The shop has become more than just a place to buy yarn. It's a place where kindred spirits meet. Its true colors are not in the yarn, but in the people who gather there. Its warmth comes not from the hearth, but from the hearts of those who frequent it. The atmosphere of welcome comes from the blessing of God.

New Winter Hours
We're making a small change in our Winter Hours. To reduce our costs, during periods of severe cold we will not have the shop open on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. However, if you're out and need something call (815) 678-4063, and we'll open for you.

Tuesday and Wednesday: By appointment between 7pm and 9pm

Thursday and Friday: 11am - 9pm

1st and 3rd Weekends of the Month: 10am - 5pm

Open Workshop will be on Sundays of the 1st and 3rd weekends of the month.

So, bring your projects, your problems, and your desire to succeed. Pour yourself a cup of coffee. Pull a chair close to the fire, and relax. We're here to help - even if you didn't buy your supplies at the shop - it doesn't matter. Forget the day's troubles - count the day's blessings. Come on in!
